Silhouette Artist Event - Saturday, October 8th

Nationally recognized silhouette artist, Debra O'Connor, will be at Newport Lamp & Shade Company on Saturday, October 8th to cut visitors' profiles. The original silhouettes of an individual or group will be cut live, by hand, and available to be mounted, matted and/or framed. 

Silhouettes capture a moment in time and make wonderful presents for friends and loved ones. "In the 18th and 19th centuries, when silhouette portraiture was popular in France, England and the United States, there were three popular techniques. Some artists cast light on the subject to get a shadow, which they traced and cut out; others painted silhouettes freehand, using black India ink, and some cut paper freehand. Ms. O'Connor takes her scissors, looks at her subject at eye level and cuts." NYTIMES
